  • Familiarity doesn’t always mean productive or well designed

    Clinging to Outlook, Only 25% of Employees Willing to Use Yahoo Mail

    At this point in your life, Outlook may be familiar, which we can often confuse with productive or well designed.

    How many times have you been faced with a change in software or hardware, and
    just wish you can go back to the old way?

    The next sentence is just all sorts of awesome:

    Certainly, we can admire the application for its survival, an anachronism of
    the now defunct 90s PC era, a pre-web program written at a time when NT Server
    terrorized the data center landscape with the confidence of a T-Rex born to
    yuppie dinosaur parents who fully bought into the illusion of their sonā€™s utter
    uniqueness because the big-mouthed, tiny-armed monster infant could mimic the
    gestures of The Itsy-Bitsy Pterodactyl. There was a similar outcry when we
    moved away from Outlookā€™s suite-mates in the Microsoft Office dreadnaught. But
    whether itā€™s familiarity, laziness or simple stubbornness dressed in a cloak of
    Ayn Randian Objectivism, the time has come to move on, commrade.

    Wow.
